Poor Scouser Tommy - (Made famous by the KOP Choir)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello all of you Liverpudlians, I am a Liverpudlian myself and I feel kinda
sorry for the fact that this great chant hasen't got a chord or tab anywhere
on the net, so here it is. I have made it myself, so if you got any
corrections, please don't hesitate to contact me one way or another, so I can
fix it.
As some of you may know, the song has originally originated from the two
traditionally songs: "Red River Valley" and "The Sash" but later on a last
verse was added due to the embarrasing win to our merseyside rivals, the end
verse just follows the Beatles song "All You Need is Love"

AEA
Let me tell you the story of a poor boy
E
Who was sent far away from his home
AD
To fight for his king and his country
AEA
and also the old folks back home.
AEA
So they put him in a highland division
E
Sent him off to a far, foreign land
AD
Where the flies swarm around in their thousands
AEA
and there was nothing to see but the sand.
AEA
Well, the battle it started next morning
E
Under a Libyan Sun.
AD
I remember that poor scouser Tommy
AEA
he was shot by an old nazi gun.
AEA
As he lay on the battlefield dying, dying, dying
E
with the blood gushing out of his head, of his head
AD
As he lay on the battlefield dying, dying, dying
AEA
These were the last words he said:-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
G
Oh I am a Liverpudlian
Em7D
and I come from the Spion Kop.
D7
I love to sing, I love to shout
GEmG
and I go there quite a lot, every week!.
G
We support the team that's dressed in red
EmD
It's a team that you all know
D7
It's a team that we call Liverpool
and to glory we will go.
G
We've won the league
We've won the cup
EmD
We've conquered Europe too
D7
And we played the toffees for a laugh
GDG
and we left them feeling blue, 5-0!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(For the next part I like to hit the guitar with my knuckles to get a hollow knock to
follow the counting; but NO chords)
1, 2
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3, 4
5-0!
G*
Rush scored one
G*
Rush scored two
G*
Rush scored three
G*
And Rush scores four
G*
La la la la
la la la

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GA7D7
All we need is Rush La la la la la
GA7D7
All we need is Rush
CD7G
Rush is all we need, Rush is all we need
G* (end of on AG-chord)
